  • Lyric Video Effect Question

    Posted by Alex Varley on June 16, 2017 at 8:01 pm

    Hello all,

    I hope that you are all having a great evening. Today I was watching a recent lyric video from Ed Sheeran and I wanted to get your advice/opinions on how you would go about creating two of the effects I took a liking to. The first effect of which I am talking about is applied to the background, it almost looks as if the tie-dyed background is liquefied although I’m having a slow evening in regards to thinking. The second effect of which I took a liking to is the paint brush strokes which the lyrics lay on, the only way in which I can describe these is that they are trembling, although I am hoping you will expand on this further.

    In case you aren’t too sure of the video I am speaking of, here is a link so you can get a much greater understanding of what I am talking about.

    Thanks,

    Hello Roei,

    Appreciate you getting back to me so fast, I’m not too sure as to why the link doesn’t work although I have provided it once again bellow. In regards to the timecode that’s fairly hard to say, because of it being a lyric video the liquefied background lasts for the whole video, and the trembling paint strokes that I also referred to also last throughout the whole video. I hope the link works this time so you can understand exactly what I mean.

    Thanks,
    Alex

    The background looks like Turbulent Displace.

    Paint strokes — maybe a fast jittery Wiggle on the Scale property and a Roughen Edges with some property wiggled? I don’t see the interior texture moving much.

    Here’s a Mt. Mograph tutorial that combine Turbulent Displace and an expression by Dan Ebberts to achieve something similar.
